Halo 3 is a fantastic first-person shooter. Structurally, it is more an evolution (and refinement) of Halo 2, and though that implies linearity over exploration, the stages are pretty solid! Combat arenas are well thought out, vehicle segments are tolerable, and every weapon in your arsenal feels useful. Running off the beaten path usually leads to goodies, such as powerups, or Easter eggs, which breathes life into the world. Though it overall does feel like a best-of collection from the last two games, it does still provide some unique and memorable moments, and I had a great time during my playthrough.
